Chapter 306 The Case of the Abandoned Queen of Nanjiao Kingdom 21
Yang'an Palace in the afternoon fell into silence due to the sweltering weather. Both the palace people and the Queen Mother Min Yang were listless. It wasn't until Queen Bo brought someone to bring ice products that the Queen Mother regained some vitality.

Ice products are made with saltpeter. It is not easy to eat ice food in Nanjiao Country.

"Hmm~ This is sour and sweet, it's really delicious, and it has a delicate fragrance, what's added to it?"

Queen Platinum replied: "It's big season flowers and honeysuckle, both of which clear away heat and relieve summer heat."

"The queen has a heart~" The queen mother praised her daughter-in-law while enjoying ice products. For so many years, she had a bad relationship with her son, and it was her daughter-in-law who accompanied her and solved her problems.

"Oh, that's right." The queen mother wiped her mouth and said, "I heard that the lord could not sleep well last night, what happened?" Seeing that the other party fell into silence with downcast eyes, she said earnestly, "You also know that no matter what, the lord Never take the initiative to speak with Aijia"

Queen Bo thought about it, and only picked a part and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, it's the small window on the top of the bedroom. The latch is old. A few birds flew in and disturbed the king. Someone has already sent someone to replace the latch."

"Really?" The queen mother lowered her eyelids and only looked at the ice products, her eyes moved slightly, her tone was slow, "Don't worry about the Aijia, just look at the king's hard work all day, if he can't sleep well at night, the iron man can't hold on. "

"Mother, don't worry, tonight, the child will keep vigil for the king, and what happened last night will definitely not happen again."

"Aijia doesn't mean that~" The queen mother held the queen's hand lovingly before the other party finished speaking, and said, "Aijia always likes you to stay in Yang'an Palace. It's just that there have been a lot of strange things in the palace recently, and pirates are rampant. There are too many things that need to be worried by the king. Although Princess Yi'an has solved the strange phenomena in the palace, Aijia is still a little confused."

When Queen Platinum heard it, she felt that it was the right time, so she said to her, "I don't want to hide it from my mother. In fact, the child is also worried about the king. Especially since I dreamed of him, I always feel uneasy in my heart. When I think of the black market and pirates, I feel even more uncomfortable. Uneasy."

As soon as Queen Qiu was mentioned, the Queen Mother's face darkened a bit: "She is the scourge, don't mention her!"

"I didn't want to mention her." Queen Bo said seriously, "I just listened to Princess Yi'an's description of the black market, and I always felt that."

"Bo'er, what exactly do you want to say?" The queen mother saw that there was something in the other party's words.

"My boy, what you mean is, can the female soldiers who were dismissed earlier be recruited back?" Queen Bo said with a straight face.

The queen mother really didn't expect her daughter-in-law to mention female soldiers, and she couldn't help being surprised: "The Ai family set up private female soldiers. , King Yi'an and the concubine are guests in the palace, if your father finds out that the Ai family is raising private soldiers again, it will be unreasonable and unreasonable."

Queen Bo sighed deeply, pretending to be sorry, and then she turned around and said: "When the child entered the palace, they had already evacuated and had no chance to see the beauty. Seeing the heroic figure of Princess Yi'an recently, the child always felt that if there was A group of the second emperor's wives guarding the palace will surely give you a lot of peace in your heart~"

"She is the concubine of King Yi'an." The queen mother smiled, "She has a noble status~ How can she be allowed to guard the palace?"

"My child knows~ that's how I think about it~" Queen Bo said coquettishly, "Seeing her all-around demeanor, my child immediately thought of those female soldiers." She raised her eyes and saw the queen mother returned with a happy face, and continued, "It's not as good as the queen mother and my child." Tell me, what are the heroic deeds of those female soldiers back then? My child has always been curious~"

The queen mother smiled and said kindly: "It's all old things, there's nothing to talk about."

"Hmm~ Queen Mother~" Queen Platinum continued coquettishly, "You also know that children like to listen to stories. Children are tired of listening to the stories in the boudoir in the palace. Seeing that the second emperor married a hero of the rivers and lakes to be the princess, the children also yearn for it. That kind of wantonness, holding the hand of the son, holding the sword to the end of the world! You are the only one who can talk about the glorious deeds of the female soldiers back then~"

The Queen Mother still smiled and said, "You can ask Princess Yi'an for a story."

Queen Platinum pretended to be disappointed and said: "Sister-in-law, the child has already asked the question. If you continue to ask, the sister-in-law must think that the child is annoying~ I saw that the sister-in-law is very heroic, and she will not let her beard! Don't be surprised, sit on one side! That is also a model of a woman who does not give up to a man!!"

Seeing that her daughter-in-law praised her so much, the Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear: "You are the only one who has a sweet mouth~ Actually, back then, the Queen Mother was also worried, thinking that if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person, where is the pride and grandeur you said! Those female soldiers acted As a meticulous killer, you should be ruthless and ruthless compared to your imperial sister-in-law. You grew up in a deep palace, and those stories of swords, lights and swords are all heard, and it is different from personal experience." After finishing speaking, she let go of her daughter-in-law's hand, indicating that this topic ended here.

Qibo: "."

An hour later, Wenshu Hall.

When Yan Mo saw the queen's maid came to greet him, he knew that the matter was not going well.

After much deliberation, she finally decided to go to the Yizheng Hall and ask the lord for orders, and she will act tonight!

"Gu said, no matter what method you want to use, as long as it doesn't harm the sky, Gu will allow it."

In the political hall, all the officials and palace people had retreated, and the king replied with a look of worry on his brows.

Yan Mo: "My lord, this matter is suitable for me to act alone. I hope the lord will not tell King Yi'an."

King: "Gu understands your concerns. This matter is a trouble for Gu, but now King Yi'an is required to take the risk with you. Gu understands the pros and cons. Don't worry, no matter what happens, Gu will protect you all!"

"Thank you, Lord!" Yan Mo thanked him with downcast eyes, and left without saying too much.

As the capital of Nanjiao Kingdom, Yancheng has always been prosperous, with a lot of people and vehicles.But today is really hot, some traders just want to hide in the shade, and they don't even want to do more business.The same is true for the common people, who finished their day's work early and waited for the sun to go down before going out of the shade and preparing to go home.

In the royal palace, many nobles and palace people fell ill due to the intense heat, and the imperial physicians frequently dispatched the imperial physicians and medical officers to prepare and decoct medicines for the heat stroke patients.

At the end of the Xu Dynasty, in Wenshu Hall, when Qi Yun came to Xiaoyu's room with a bowl of mung bean soup, he did not see the head of the house.

"My sister said to go out and hang around, so we don't have to wait for her." Xiaoyu replied obediently when she saw Mr. Qi.

"Did the boss say where to hang around?" Qi Yun was a little confused, "Why didn't you take me with you?"

"My sister didn't say anything." Xiaoyu led the people into the house, returned to the little monkey and said, "Just tell me to go to bed early, don't keep messing with my stupid brother."

"Speaking of which, at your age, you should be noisy, so don't carry it~" Qi Yun put down the mung bean soup and said with a light smile. so similar!
"Hey, Mr. Xiaoyu, let's go to the resting courtyard to have a look together, maybe the master is there~" Seeing Xiaoyu turning his head and playing with the little monkey, he thought of the animals in Mammy Ou's room again.

"No, Mr. Qi." Xiaoyu refused righteously, "If my sister finds out that I am not obedient, she might be angry."

"Hi! It's okay! I'm here. Besides, the boss is afraid that you and the fool will go crazy and have trouble sleeping at night. Just in time, I'll take you out for a walk and separate you from the fool. ~"

"." Seeing Mr. Qi winking, Xiaoyu couldn't bear it, but he didn't want to go to bed so early. He thought about it, decided to take the monkey to Zhushui, and followed Mr. Qi to wander slowly to the courtyard
After Qiming returned to Wenshu Hall to rest, he had been waiting for Yan Mo. On the second floor, he watched Mr. Qi take Xiaoyu out, thinking that he would be able to bring Yan Mo back in a short time, so he went back to the house and continued admiring the women. Hesai left.
The clouds were heavy, and the dew was even deeper. Many palaces turned off their lights early, and fell into a sense of tranquility.

In a certain corner of Yang'an Hall, following the patrolling palace people passing by, a figure rolled over from the beams and pillars without a sound!Hide in the darkness around the corner!

Just at this time, a court lady passed by with a burning sleeping incense, ready to carefully send it in.

The black shadow flickered to keep up with the steps of the maid, and entered together like a ghost!
The maid put the incense away unconsciously, turned around and stepped back with a standard posture.

In the silence, the black shadow passed him back to back!After hiding in the veil!

Cigarettes are curling up in the bedroom, and the Empress Dowager's breathing is very even. Because she is afraid of the dark at night, the maids will keep small candles in the far corners.
The black shadow held his breath and waited for a while, making sure that he could act, and then began to touch along the veil with the faint candlelight to avoid the shards of tranquilizing incense.
Through the observation of heights and distances all afternoon, the black shadow figured out the topography and architectural pattern of Yang'an Temple.At this time, she is checking the problematic places
After about a stick of incense, Yan Mo found that there were several problems, all of which were small hidden spaces for storage, which were not enough to form a secret room.

In the darkness, she looked around the bedroom, recalling the conversation with the king.

"The queen mother has always been meticulous in her work, and she will not put the things you are looking for in the open.

In the entire Yang'an Hall, the Queen Mother disliked the guards approaching the main bedroom the most.Whenever the queen stays overnight, the queen mother will move to Mu Anxuan to sleep.

Therefore, I feel that the secret room is most likely to be in the queen mother's main bedroom. "

Yan Mo: "The climate in Nanjiao country is hot and humid. If the secret room is built underground, it will easily accumulate moisture, which is not conducive to storing documents."

"There is a lot of rain in hot and humid areas, and the palace has been flooded due to heavy rainfall. The overall terrain of Yang'an Hall is relatively high, and the impact is small. In addition, all lonely documents are stored in oiled paper boxes, which can effectively avoid water damage. "The lord said while showing an oiled paper box.

The box is made of wood, wrapped with a layer of oil paper with a reasonable structure, and the airtightness of the opening and closing is also good.

In view of this, Yan Mo felt that the secret room was probably located under the Queen Mother's bedroom.She quietly looked around the dormitory, checking for signs of traps.
The desks, bookshelves, beds, all kinds of cabinets, candlesticks, etc. were all touched, but Yan Mo still failed to find the mechanism.

Thinking of the experience of inspecting Jingzhi Temple today, Yan Mo thought to himself, could it be that the mechanism is on it?
Thinking of this, Yan Mo stretched his arms and flew up to the roof quietly!Either hanging or climbing, after checking it, she found that the roof here was different from that of Jingzhi Hall.

The pointed round top of Jingzhi Hall is transparent, and small windows can be seen, but the roof here is sealed, and small windows cannot be seen.In other words, there is room at the top of the roof!

However, this space is actually not that big because of the shape of the pointed dome.

Yan Mo groped carefully for a long time, but found no mechanism.

For an elderly person like the Queen Mother, it is not easy to go up to the roof.Therefore, Yan Mo gave up on the roof for the time being, flew to the ground, and continued to search for other suspicious objects. This time, she focused on small objects.
But unfortunately, as the night got darker, Yan Mo had already been a "ghost" in the dormitory for almost an hour, but he got nothing.

In the end, she slumped down next to the big incense burner, firstly to hide her figure, secondly, she could take this time to rest and think about whether there is any other possibility.
The large incense burner is a miniature version of a pointed building with a square bottom and placed directly on the floor.However, this thing is just for display here, because there is fine dust between some lines on it.It seems that this area is rarely used, which is why Yan Mo chose this area to cover up his figure.

But she, who was in trouble, had already thought about every corner of the hall, and she still didn't find anything suspicious!

Afterwards, she leaned herself against the censer, spread her hands out, thinking about whether to give up and leave as soon as possible
But when her fingers touched the floor, she suddenly felt greasy!

Yan Mo regained consciousness, checked carefully, and found that some oil stains had leaked from the bottom of the incense burner. She leaned over and smelled it, but there was no smell, which meant that it was not sesame oil leaking out.

So what kind of oil is this?
Then, she ran her finger along the bottom of the incense burner from the starting point, and found that one of the four sides of the incense burner was clean, while the other three sides had obvious oil stains.

She stretched out her hand to check the inside of the large incense burner again. There was no burning debris and solidified grease inside, only dust, which meant that the incense burner hadn't been used for a long time.

Why do these stains appear?

In order to find out the truth, Yan Mo needs to check the bottom, just according to these oil stains, she can slowly push the incense burner away to see the bottom.
The large incense burner looked heavy, and she needed some skill to remove it without making a sound.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the censer did not move at all!Although the strength she used was very subtle, it was not useless!

Yan Mo looked at it, switched sides and exerted force again, this time it was useful!
However, no matter how good the strength is, the friction between the incense burner and the ground will still make some noise.
Yan Mo didn't dare to continue exerting force, and was alert to the surroundings. She only continued when she heard that the Queen Mother's breathing was still steady. Every time she exerted force, she was extremely careful!
After careful progress, Yan Mo found that the entire incense burner could only rotate, and could not be moved!The swing origin is exactly on the oil-free side!
After turning the incense burner at a certain angle, Yan Mo tried to find the entrance, but unfortunately, no matter how she touched it, how she tapped it to hear it, the bottom was real!

Just as she was carefully examining the cracks in the ground, suddenly!Not far away, there was a sound of clever operation! !
Boom—boom——

Even if Yan Mo remained calm, hearing this sound still made his spine tense!She had to be thankful that the faint thunder outside really helped her!
In the extremely quiet hall, the sound of ingenuity overlapped with the thunder in the distance, without any sense of abruptness!
Yan Mo hurriedly looked back, for fear of waking up the Queen Mother!
Fortunately, because of the sweltering weather, the Queen Mother took the tranquilizing medicine soup before falling asleep. With her breathing changing a few times, she turned over and fell asleep again.
Yan Mo waited for quite a while, making sure that he was lucky tonight, and then quietly came to the place where the coincidence happened.

Then, she found out that this was the empty bookshelf she had seen just now!But right now, this bookshelf has changed its shape and turned into a staircase! !

To be able to make such a skillful person, he can compete with Master Mata!

Yan Mo raised his head and looked up. The staircase was in a zigzag shape and could lead all the way to the top!She deftly went up two or three steps at the same time, and reached the bottom in two or three steps!

Only then did I realize that the entrance was actually on a pillar!At this time, a small opening was opened in this pillar, allowing the waist to enter!

Yan Mo slipped in cautiously, and after she stabilized her figure, she took out the torch from her waist and illuminated her eyes.
There is indeed a hidden space on the roof, but it is not big, and the distance up and down is only enough for a woman's stature. A tall man needs to bow his body and bow his head when entering.

The surrounding area was completely closed, and no light source could come in. Yan Mo sensed it and made sure there was no one else, so he searched for a candle and lit it.
As the light spread evenly, she could see the secret room clearly, there were no jewels or gold objects in it, only files!
